I'm still debating the pros/cons of getting a new bike vs. a used bike. I'm trying to look at all sides, figuring out how much the bike initially costs, how much I can sell the bike for, figuring out how long I plan on keeping the bike. I'll let you know about what decision I come to, even though I feel this bike will be sold VERY soon. Good luck to your sale also

i'm in a similar debate. my only worry on a used 250 vs a new is if it wasn't taken care of. Considering many 250s are beginner bikes, beginners usually ride them and probably make their mistakes, either in riding or mechanically, and a mechanical failure on a bike seems like more of a significant life event than on a beginner car.
